in the woods


There's nothing more relaxing for me than to be in this stand of trees above the family camp. Each time I visit the forest changes. Once we came through after an extended period of rain to see the forest floor covered with so many varieties of mushrooms, our intended afternoon stroll turned into an extended adventure in mushroom photographing and identification. They were beautiful. This image was taken with a Holga camera my sister rigged up to be a pinhole camera. I took this image with about a 2 minute exposure time.
